Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate therelationship between serum mercury and some plasma microRNA(miRNA) levels associated with neurological diseases in patientswith amalgam filling and dentists. Methods: This study included 30 patients with amalgam filling, 30dentists, and 30 healthy individuals as the control group. Circulatingplasma miRNAs (124-3p, 125-5p, and 127-3p) were evaluated usingreal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Theserum mercury levels were measured using inductively coupledplasma-mass spectrometry. ANOVA and Tukey’s multiplecomparison tests were used for statistical analyses (α =.05). Results: A significant difference in serum mercury and plasmamiRNA levels was found between the groups. Significant positivecorrelations between serum mercury and plasma miRNA 125-5pand 127-3p levels were detected in the patient group (r: 0.56 and r:0.39, respectively). Serum mercury and plasma miRNA-125-5plevels showed a positive correlation in the dentist group (r: 0.37). Conclusion: Having amalgam filling caused a significant increasein serum mercury and some plasma miRNA levels (124-3p, 125-5p,and 127-3p). The presence of a positive correlation suggests thatsensitivity to neurological diseases may increase because ofmercury exposure. Alternative restorative materials should bepreferred for amalgam filling and amalgam fillings should bereplaced with other restorative materials under necessarypreventions.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, amalgam dolgusu olanhastalarda ve diş hekimlerinde serum civa ve nörolojikhastalıklarla ilişkili bazı plazma mikroRNA (miRNA) seviyeleriarasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya 30 amalgam dolguluhasta, 30 amalgam dolgusu olmayan diş hekimi ve 30 sağlıklıkontrol grubu dahil edildi. Dolaşımdaki plazma miRNA'lar (124- 3p, 125-5p ve 127-3p), gerçek zamanlı kantitatif polimerazzincir reaksiyonu analizi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Serum civaseviyeleri, endüktif olarak eşleşmiş plazma-kütlespektrometresi kullanılarak ölçüldü. İstatistiksel analizler içinANOVA ve Tukey’in çoklu karşılaştırma testleri kullanıldı (α =.05). Bulgular: Gruplar arasında serum civa ve plazma miRNAseviyelerinde anlamlı bir fark bulundu. Hasta grubunda serumciva ile plazma miRNA 125-5p ve 127-3p seviyeleri arasındaanlamlı pozitif korelasyonlar tespit edildi (sırasıyla r: 0.56 ve r:0.39). Serum civa ve plazma miRNA-125-5p seviyeleri, dişhekimi grubunda pozitif bir korelasyon gösterdi (r: 0.37). Sonuç: Amalgam dolguya sahip olmak serum civa ve bazıplazma miRNA düzeylerinde önemli bir artışa neden olmuştur.Pozitif bir korelasyonun varlığı, civa maruziyeti nedeniylenörolojik hastalıklara duyarlılığın artabileceğini göstermektedir.Amalgam dolgu için alternatif restoratif materyaller tercihedilmeli ve amalgam dolgular, gerekli önlemler alınarak diğerrestoratif materyaller ile değiştirilmelidir.
